      Background:
      Thymic carcinoma (TC) is a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. Treatment options are limited, especially after relapse. We previously reported that PD-L1 positivity was observed in 70% of TCs by immunohistochemistry suggesting anti PD-1/PD-L1 agents could be a promising treatment.

      Methods:
      In this open-label, two-stage, multi-center, single-arm, phase II trial, the main eligibility criteria were: unresectable or recurrent TC, an ECOG-PS of 0 or 1, the presence of measurable disease, progression after at least one previous platinum-based chemo(radio)therapy treatment, and no history of autoimmune disease. Nivolumab was administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was the response rate (RR) as evaluated by central review using the RECIST v1.1; secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, disease control rate, and safety. The planned sample size was 15 for the first stage and 15 for the second stage, with a threshold RR of 5%, an expected RR of 20%, one-sided alpha of 5% and power of 80%. This trial was registered with UMIN000022007.

      Results:
      Between July 1 and August 16, 2016, 15 patients were accrued in the first stage; at the data cutoff (August 31, 2017), all were assessable for a response. Median follow-up time was 3.8 months (range 1.4–12.0). All were Japanese, 12 were male, median age was 55 (range 34–70), 13 had squamous histology. The median number of nivolumab cycles received was 8 (range 3–29). RR by central review was 0% (no patient with complete or partial response; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0–21.8). Eleven patients had stable disease and four had progressive disease. Median PFS was 3.8 months (95% CI: 1.9–5.6), and 12-month PFS rate was 13.3% (95% CI: 2.2–34.6). Two patients experienced a treatment-related serious adverse events (grade 3 AST increase and grade 2 adrenal insufficiency). Because the early termination criteria at the first stage (less than one responder) was fulfilled, the patient accrual was terminated.

      Conclusions:
      Despite of the small number of patients, our results suggested further development of nivolumab is not recommended in previously treated unresectable or recurrent TC.

      171P - A phase I/II study of weekly nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin in chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (ID 300)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Author(s): M. Satouchi

      • Abstract

      Background:
      In the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), solvent-based paclitaxel (sb-paclitaxel) plus cisplatin can be expected to have high response rate, but strong neurotoxicity is observed. Currently, nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) plus carboplatin is considered as one of the standard regimen, and a higher response rate and lower neurotoxicity are expected as compared with sb-paclitaxel plus carboplatin. Therefore, we planned this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin in chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC.

      Methods:
      Chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC were eligible. In phase 1 dose escalation cohort (3 + 3 design), patients received nab-paclitaxel (80 or 100 mg/m[2] iv on days 1, 8 and 15) plus cisplatin (60 or 75 mg/m[2] iv on day 1) every 4 weeks. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m[2] iv on days 1, 8 and 15) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m[2] iv on day1) every 4 weeks was selected for phase 2 cohort. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR).

      Results:
      23 patients (phase 1, n = 6; phase 2, n = 17) were enrolled from October 2013 to September 2017, and 22 patients were eligible. The median age was 67.5 years (range 37–75 years), 90.9% were males, 100% had smoked, 45.5% had adenocarcinoma and 81.8% had Stage IV. The ORR was 59.1% (95% confidence interval (CI); 38.7–76.7%) and the disease control rate was 86.4% (95% CI; 66.7–95.3%). The median progression free survival was 5.1 months (95% CI; 4.0–6.7 months) and the median overall survival was 24.2 months (95% CI; 8.4- not estimable (NE) months). The common grade ≥ 3 adverse events was neutropenia (31.8%), leukopenia (27.3%), lung infection (18.2%) and hyponatremia (18.2%). There was one grade 2 interstitial pneumonia and no treatment related death.

      Conclusions:
      Nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin was well tolerated and associate with encouraging response outcomes in chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC. Further investigation is warranted.
